4. APPROVED CHANGE:

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change further updates the following DLMS transactions 

previously modified to support RBI under referenced ADCs: DLMS 846C Disposition Category 

Update and DLMS 846R Location Reconciliation. These updates are to accommodate inclusion of 

the controlling document number suffix code and/or a Disposal Turn-In Document (DTID) number 

suffix code when either or both of these are applicable. This requires flexible mapping to allow 

variations in content. Under RBI, requisitions submitted to DLA Disposition Services may include a 

DTID number suffix code in addition to the DTID value. The DTID suffix code equates to the 

suffix used on the original property turn-in and retained by DLA Disposition Services for 

accountability and tracking. Turn-in property shipped under a DTID suffix will be received at the 

DLA Disposition Services Field Offices with the corresponding DTID number and associated suffix. 

This DTID number and suffix combination will normally be passed along with balance-affecting 

transactions to partner systems DLA Enterprise Business System (EBS) and DLA Reutilization, 

Transfer, Donation (RTD Web), from DLA Distribution Standard System (DSS).

b. Background:

(1) Reutilization Business Integration (RBI). The DLA Disposition Services is a 

worldwide presence within the Department of Defense, with disposal specialists in 14 foreign 

countries, two U.S territories, and 39 states. DLA Disposition Services’ mission is the execution of 

disposition solutions for excess military property. The RBI project will replace the Defense 

Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) Automated Information System (DAISY) by 

integrating DLA Disposition Services business processes within the DLA enterprise suite of 

applications, including EBS for materiel management functions and DSS for 

warehousing/distribution functions.

(2) Disposal Turn In Document (DTID) Number Suffix: 

 (a) DOD activities, also known as generators, establish the DTID document number 

with a combination of their DoD Activity Address Code (DoDAAC), Julian date, and serial 

number. The DTID number consists of fourteen characters. Under RBI, requisitions and 

receipts submitted to DLA Disposition Services may also include a DTID Suffix Code in 

addition to the DTID value. The DTID Suffix Code equates to the suffix used on the original 

property turn-in and retained by DLA Disposition Services for accountability and tracking. 

Turn-in property shipped under a DTID suffix will be received at the DLA Disposition Services 

Field Offices with the corresponding DTID and associated suffix. All corresponding updates or 

transactions related to the items included in the DTID or DTID and suffix, including the 846C 

disposition status update and 846R inventory reconciliation transactions, must pass the Suffix 

code, if applicable, to maintain proper inventory accountability and consistency of data 

throughout all systems.

 (b) DTID number suffix is used to identify a split shipment on a turn-in. Split 

shipments are used to identify a partial turn-in under the same DTID number that may arrive at 

the DLA Disposition Services Field Office as different shipments from the generator. The split 

shipment is distinguished by adding a suffix to retain its relationship to the original DTID 

number for the purpose of tracking.

 (c) Additionally, conversion data from legacy DAISY will contain fourteen-character 

DTID numbers and one-character suffixes. The RBI system suite must be able to accommodate 

this legacy data.

c. Describe Approved Change in Detail: There is a unique process for generating DLMS 

846C and DLMS 846R and both require the capability to include the DTID number and suffix;

however, the DTID number suffix is currently not identified on these transactions. DLMS 

Supplements 846C and 846R show the DTID will be identified as the primary controlling 

document number, in the REF01*TN qualifier of the DLMS transaction. There is no segment 

currently that accounts for a suffix to this field. Therefore, if a suffix is associated with the DTID, 

a qualifier would need to be added to each transaction to account for it. ADC 466 (reference 3.a.) 

addresses suffixing a DTID number in this manner for many transactions, but did not address 

DLMS 846C or DLMS 846R.

(1) DLMS 846C, Disposition Category Update: 

(a) As indicated in ADC 412 (reference 3.b.), DLA Disposition Services uses the 

following procedures and processes in relationship to the DLMS 846C, Disposition Category 

Update transaction. The disposition category code assigned during receipt will have two impacts: 

1) the category will serve as an impact to DSS’ stow process and 2) the category will determine 

which system will be responsible for issuing the DTID. The DLA Disposition Services ICP (EBS) 

will be responsible for issuing DTID records with disposition category codes of Reutilization (RU) 

or Sales (SL). The DLA Disposition Service Field Office will be responsible for issuing DTID 

records with a disposition category of Disposal (DS). This change is required to add DTID 

number suffix code to the 846C. Refer to ADC 412 for details on DLMS 846C functionality/uses.

(b) Revise DLMS 846C as follows to support DTID number suffixing (note that the 

DTID number is the controlling document number in the 846C transaction at 2/REF01/1400

qualifier TN as shown in row 2):

(2) DLMS 846R, Location Reconciliation. Per ADC 470 (reference 3.c.), the DLMS 846R 

Location Reconciliation transaction (846R beginning segment BIA02 Report Type Code ‘LC’ 

(MILSTRAP legacy DIC DZH functionality)) added the DTID number, and the Demilitarization Code 

(DEMIL code). This change is required to add the DTID number suffix code to the 846R.

(a) DLA Disposition Services Field Offices (which use DSS) will send DLMS 846R 

Location Reconciliation Request transactions (1/BIA02/20 Report Type Code LC (legacy DIC DZH 

functionality)) and DLMS 846R Location Reconciliation Notification transactions (1/BIA02/20 

Report Type Code X4 (legacy DIC DZN functionality)) via an MQ Series interface to DLA 

Transaction Services. The 846R Location Reconciliation Request (1/BIA02/20 Report Type Code 

LC (legacy DIC DZH functionality)) will be sent with on-hand balances of inventory line items, 

which for RBI equals a DTID number, or DTID number and suffix code.

(b) DLA Disposition Services related reconciliations (between DSS and EBS) are 

transferred in the form of daily reconciliation DLMS 846R Location Reconciliation Request 

(1/BIA02/20 Report Type Code LC (legacy DIC DZH)) and Location Reconciliation Notification 

transactions (1/BIA02/20 Report Type Code X4 (legacy DIC DZN functionality)) transactions for 

inventory which had balance affecting transactions (receipts, issues, reclassifications, etc.) during the 

day. In addition, total reconciliation 846R Location Reconciliation Request and Location 

Reconciliation Notification transactions will be received from each field site annually. This Inventory 

Reconciliation must be done to keep Enterprise Business System (EBS) inventories in line with 

inventories within DSS as part of the Inventory Reconciliation Management process within DLA 

Disposition Services.

(c) Revise DLMS 846R as follows to support DTID number suffixing (note that the 

DTID number in the DLMS 846R is at 2/REF01/140 qualifier TN as shown):

d. Revisions to Defense Logistics Manual (DLM) 4000.25 Manuals:

(1) Requires update to DLMS 846C Disposition Category Update and DLMS 846R

Location Reconciliation Request transactions as noted.

(2) In anticipation of these requirements, DLM 4000.25, DLMS, Volume 2, Chapter 16, 

Disposition Services, includes applicable DLMS 846C and DLMS 846R DTID suffix code 

updates. No additional changes required. DLM 4000.25 will be published on the DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office Website in June 2012.

 e. Alternatives: None identified.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

a. The DTID and associated suffix are on many documents pertaining to proper inventory 

accountability and need to be consistently processed and displayed throughout the entire RBI suite 

of systems. This change would ensure the DLMS 846C and DLMS 846R transactions account for 

DTIDs with a suffix that are already in the legacy DAISY data, as well as new DTIDs with 

suffixes from generators. If at any point during the life cycle of a DTID, a change, cancellation, 

status update, or shipment status is required, the DTID and its associated suffix will be passed as 

part of the transaction. This ensures that the 846C and 846R can pass this required data.

b. Because other transactions within RBI Inventory Reconciliation Management and Disposal 

Processes (such as those referenced in ADC 466 for requisitioning and receipt processes) have 

accounted for DTIDs with suffixes, this allows the suffix data to enter DLA Disposition Services 

for processing in DSS and EBS. Currently, there is no way to account for these suffixed DTIDs in 

the 846C and 846R transactions. If the data is not carried over properly, it will be impossible to 

ensure that the accountable records within RBI are accurately updated.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Retention of the legacy data in its original DTID-plus-suffix format 

minimizes any impact to component systems. In addition, DTID suffixes allow generators to 

maintain their current processes that involve suffixing.

b. Disadvantages: Updating these transactions requires minor DSS and EBS coding 

changes to accommodate the extra data in the DLMS transactions.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Target implementation date 

is August 27, 2012.

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: N/A.

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None.

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: None.

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS):

(1) Impacts DLA EBS and DLA DSS in support of Disposition Services.

(2) No impact to other DOD Component systems.

d. DLA Transaction Services: DLA Transaction Services mapping for the DLMS 846C

and DLMS 846R must be updated to reflect the DTID number suffix.

e. Non-DLA Logistics Management Standards Publications: DLA J33 will coordinate the 

necessary changes with the proponent office(s) for DRMS 4160.14 and DOD 4160.21.
